"Scroll pad 5 times and it will reset..."

This happend to me. Either you take out the battery and push the scroll pad 5 times and it will reset. If not that way try it with battery in second track pad will reset that way and if not, call yor cell phone provider and they will walk you through it. If no water damage they will replace it.

Someone said: thank you so much! im sad that i didn`t find this sooner because i already issued a new phone to be shipped out but at least i know what to do if i ever have this problem in the future :) thanks again

Someone said: I was astounded that this actually worked, but unfortunately only for long enough to send a coupla texts, then no more! Does anyone know commands to use the keys to scroll instead? For instance, when in the text menu, pressing 'T' takes you to the top, 'B' to the bottom...

Someone said: Instructions are very unclear. Why should clicking anything without a battery do anything??? If battery is in clicking selects a function. So when exactly am I meant to do this 5 clicks???

Someone said: Thanks for posting the tips of how to fix the tract pad on my blackberry. It worked perfecty. I took to the local wireless phone shop, they gave me a story that they needed to Fedex the part and wanted to charge me $75.00. I was desperate to get my phone fixed (after spending almost an hour talking T-mobile's IT people...still did not work) so I told t guy to go ahead. He gave me a run around saying that the part was not in but in reality he is just stalling time and made it sounded like he is waiting for the part. So I told him to give me my phone back. Nowmy phone is working again....Many Thanks

Someone said: THANK YOU worked amazingly, from SA, and no one, not even the repair shops could fix this, been battling a month with this and in 2 seconds ur advice fixed the phone!!!Very impressed!!!!Thanks Again!

Someone said: Worked the second time, if pushing the track pad in 5 times doesnt work, try pushing the back of the track pad (which the battery was covering) 5 times aswell, thats what made mine work.
but yeah thanks a bunch!!

Someone said: i was sitting here for 2 hours looking for ways to fix it and everyone was like "scroll to this" or "click that" and i was like lol k I OBVIOUSLY CANT DO THAT. thank you so sossosososossososoooo much!!! you have no idea.

Someone said: ah brilliant! thank you so much! and all you people saying we're liars.. sure, okay, you've obviously damaged your phone worse than ours, we're not sad enough to lie about it.
happy to say my Blackberry is now working, much appreciated!

Someone said: WELL..... THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A LOAD OF RUBBISH..... GOT FURTHER AND FURTHER DOWN WITH THE "IT WORKS!" AND BEFORE I GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE "IT WORKS"................ IT BLOODY WORKS!!!! THANK YOU!!

Someone said: THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was so mad this morning because I restarted it last night and the trackball decided not to work. So I just tried the click 5 times thing and now my track ball works! So Happy! Thank you!

Someone said: Wow, saved my phone for the second time!!!!! After the 'paper behind the battery in front of the sim card' stopped working I spent 46 minutes on the phone to RIM in the States. Still not fix for the trackpad and after 2 mins googling and finding this fix, the problem is solved :o) Good work people :o)

Someone said: as soon as I took my battery out to restart it, it turned on then turned back on, i tried to do the 5 times press scroller thing and nothing worked. calls come through but wont let me answer or decline it. and when it says "type password" or whatever, it just doesn't type anything!

Someone said: WORKED FOR ME! for those needing clarification, press the square scroll button in the middle of your blackberry 5 times after taking the battery out (as if you were going to press okay) and then put the battery back in!

Someone said: I didn't even take my battery out, my scroller/trackpad hadnt been working for a week, I google it, and it wouldn't work for me so I just pushed my scroller/trackpad down hard an scrolled and it started to work, now it works fine *touchwood*

lawanalog said: OMG!
u just saved me my dignity from someone i sold same model of phone to only to return couple of days later that the scroll-ball STOPPED working...Was worried & almost went into quarrel with the fellow bcx phone works well earlier...Anyway thank God it restored now just using your method as stated above...Many thanks Genius One okay & God Bless U for redeeming my image also.

To fix Black Berry 8520 Scroll pad,
1. Switch off the phone and Remove the battery.
2. Now genitally move the scroll pad in all the possible directions and make sure that there is no dust particle and other obstacles over there.
3. Clean that part using a silk cloth ant dont push it too hard, you may end up breaking this scroll pad.
4. Put the battery back and switch on the phone. Still if it shows the problem, contact the vendor and get it repaired..
